    The poem expresses the poet's lack of fear in facing the uncertainties of the world and of death. She finds courage and assurance in her faith in God, whom she sees as an almighty, ever-present deity who animates all of existence. Even if all of creation were destroyed, God's being and breath would remain, as nothing can destroy what God is.

    No Coward Soul is Mine

    No coward soul is mine


    No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere
    I see Heaven's glories shine
    And Faith shrnes equal arming me from Fear

    O God within my breast


    Al m ighty ever-present Deity
    Life, that in me iast rest
    As I Undying Life, have power in Thee!

    With wide-em bracing love


    Thy spirit animates eternal years
    Pervades- and broods above,
    Changes, susfarns, dl'sso/res, creates and rears

    Though Earth and moon were gone


    And suns and universes ceased to be
    And thou wert left alone
    Every Existence would exist in thee

    There is not room for Death


    Nor atom that his might could render void
    Since thou art Being and Breath
    And what thou art may never be destroyed.

    Emily Bronte (January 2nd, 1846)
